“We started the season well in Dubai but we just got our attacking game a little bit wrong in Cape Town and Sydney. We’ve been working on this based upon how the other teams have evolved their defences over the past two tournaments and we’re ready and excited for Hamilton now,” said Amor.

“It’s obviously hugely disappointing to lose Alex Davis in the first half of the first game on his return from injury in Sydney, but this provides a great opportunity for Ryan Olowofela who made his World Series debut against some of the best teams in the world last weekend.

“At just 19 years old Ryan really held his own and he’s progressed even further in training this week, so we’re excited to see what he can do in Hamilton.”

The FMG Stadium Waikato, Hamilton is a new venue on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series, replacing Wellington on the circuit.
